About: Family has always included dogs in our tribe. I am willing to travel in Florida for pet sitting needs. Let’s talk. My grandmother loved to reminisce about showing champion dogs growing up on Rhode Island in the early 1900s. We always had an Irish Setter or Scott Terrier of some kind. Until recently, I was the proud 10-year partner to a 95 pound Golden Doodle certified service dog JJ. JJ travelled the U.S. with me. JJ was trained for two years through a program in the Texas prison system, and a wounded warrior non profit. Another veteran is enjoying JJ now, so I decided to sign up to help other parents with their buddies. I am an empath and connect well with dogs, even dogs with challenges. I am a retired USAF veteran and recently relocated to Florida from New York. I can use salty and sweet techniques based on your buddies temperament to help our buddies stay safe and feel safe. Your loved one will know they are valued in my company, regardless of the kind of day they are having, or the challenges they might be facing. My schedule is my own. I do lots of reading and writing online so the quietness blends well with giving your buddies constant attention and affection. I can accommodate various schedules and circumstances for clients and their buddies needs. Let’s discuss your buddies situation. I will accommodate the owner and pets unique circumstances. I can support training objectives. I and my partner Michael (a U.S. Marine veteran) live a very quiet, healthy, sober, clean, non smoking lifestyle. I prefer written instructions, especially if there are diet or medication needs. I am a responsible professional and mom to adult children. At this time, I prefer to do pet sitting in your cleanly, non-smoking home. Or, dog walking in your neighborhood. My HOA doesn’t permit me to service a dog care business on our property.

They did an AMAZING job with our trio of kitties. They even got our grumpy old cat who doesn’t trust anyone to come around :) I would totally recommend them to anyone. They took care of our kitties as if they were their own and were great about communication and keeping an eye on everything.

I had an emergency hospitalization and contacted Rover. Jennifer did a great job watching my female Whippet Cinnamon 2 days in a row, playing with her, walking her, feeding her, taking her to the dog park. She took videos & pics. She did everything I asked.

About: I’ve taken cared of my neighbors , family , and friends pets. I love animals of any kind. I will gladly take care of them with what you want. Give me instructions and I’ll do it. I’m willing to do evening walks after 5:30pm on weekdays if anyone needs I know it’s not set on my calendar. I also love photography so if you’re wanting me to take a couple of pictures for you, I sure can do that. I need to practice so the photos would be free of charge :) I currently work at Merritt Animal Clinic in Eustis from 8 am to 5pm on weekdays except Thursdays and weekends. I can do walks after 5:30 on weekdays but anytime on Thursdays and weekends if I’m not too busy. I will be happy working with your fur babies 😁 I have a male dog. I cuddle with Toby everyday. My yard is fenced and they are watched 24/7. I will wrestle and play with dogs bigger than me as if I’m a dog. Cats are amazing to lay with as well. I only now have a Chihuahua and he’s very needy so any needy animal won’t be a problem for me at all. I love you snuggle up and play with the pets.

Tanya is extremely professional, has a great memory, very reliable, and is super patient with new animals. She watched our three cats while we were out of town for the week and gave them some company. On first meeting her, she asked great questions regarding personality types and general instructions, and talked us through her soft approach to meeting our animals. She assured us that she’d devote her whole reserved time to sitting with them and letting them get to know her presence. Her notes were thorough and reassuring. We were very happy with her and even our shy cats liked her and allowed her pets. Would highly recommend.

About: I have been involved in working with animals on a providing-care basis since I was around 12 years old. I began through petsitting my neighbors dogs when they would go out of town. When I began college I got a job working at our local petstore which taught me so much more about caring for pets. I have also dedicated plenty of time to volunteering with animal shelters and fostering pets till they find their forever home. Now, I have multiple pets of my own and love any and all pets I have ever come across. I am currently a full time remote employee so I work from home M-F each week 7-4pm. Thankfully, working from home allows for flexibility and time with your pets the majority of the time. I am flexible with scheduling and I am happy to work with you and your pet to meet any needs or requirements that you may have. I currently live in a house with a large fenced in backyard where pets can run and play. I have pets of my own, 2 dogs. They get along great with each other and they all love other animals- cats and dogs alike. I am surrounded by great hiking trails, great parks, and more.

About: I used care of the neighborhood cats when I was around 10-11 and started pet sitting shortly after. I will care for your babies as if they were my own. I love animals and helping however I can! Im currently working full time, and have 3 cats of my own. But I love animals and always have time to help those that might need another set of hands to help with their fur babies. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and completely comfortable in their own environment. I follow your routine exactly; feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you give. I provide constant communication with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My priority is keeping your home secure, your pet happy, and giving you total peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have watched my cousins dogs and my friend‘s dogs and I love them all! I especially love playing with them and taking them on walks! I am a college student living in Lakeland during the weekdays and I come home on the weekends. I do not do anything on the weekends other than go to church. I would love to take care of your pet! I let the pets roam around in the house except for certain rooms that have anything that could harm the pet and I always have my eye on them to make sure they aren’t getting into trouble! :)

Deborah did an amazing job with our 4-legged kids! After our initial meet and greet, we had such a good feeling about her and she did not let us down! She sent photos of our "kids" and took really good care of them. We were in regular communication but I didn't have to worry about anything! She bonded with our "kids" right away and I know they are much happier staying in their own home vs boarding. I would definitely recommend her! I would have given her 10 stars if it were available!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. What started as my own quickly transformed into me neighbors and families as well. I can cut toe nails, bathe, walk, etc! I currently work from home and go to school but I can definitely care and love on your pups and cats (and any other animal). I love all of them - big and small! I have a fenced yard with my own friendly dog that loves to make friends as well. I can also crate your (or my) dogs if needed with a crate you provide. I’m currently working part time so I have tons of time to look after your pets. I’m about to go on maternity leave as well and so my complete attention will be turned to working from home with odd jobs! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly pup to keep your dog company. I have a couch for dogs to lay on and a dog bed.

About: I am very passionate about the well being of animals. My previous dog had medical issues and needed a specific medicine schedule. I understand the importance of giving pets the medicine they require and sticking to a schedule. I am usually home during the day with my dog. I ensure that she has everything she needs and is well fed. Since I don't have much going on during the day, I would be able to keep a close eye on your pets while ensuring they get what they need. I love to play with my dog (Delilah). I make sure to treat every animal I meet with the same kindness I give to Delilah. I have been around dogs my whole life and each one has become more than a pet, they are family.

We were honestly hesitant to leave our furrbabies with a stranger. However, Nicole B. made this process easy, comforting and safe. I have used many online services, but she assured us about being a caring person--whether daily calls / texts, her profile with picture and consistent communication. Nothing against boarding, but the comfort of my home is unmatching. Our initial contact / interview, her profile and her experience, doesn't give her justice. She exemplified a truly, great caregiver and assured us by answering our random questions. We instantly had chemistry in our first contact, which helped in the process. Also, she thoroughly followed our instructions without hesitation. I know this is a competitive field, but highly recommend her and hope each person books her for her services. 5+ stars for a ROCKSTAR sitter. All of us look forward to seeing her again, including our furrbabies!!
